not that I know of for certain.

append manybe?  (append can be dangerous, read about it, also 4dos needs
something set to make it cooperate with appeend)

append would do that.

you'd basically have one descript.ion file for all of your drives, but
files withthe same name would get the same description, and things that
write the descript.ion file could get confused.

just set up a shortcut to 4dos.com
also  use regedit.exe search the registry for command.com and edit it to
4dos.com
